So you really liked Casey Affleck in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James. How would you like to watch him fumble around the desert with Matt Damon for 100 minutes, at an average of one minute per shot? That's a brief but accurate description of Gerry, the first film in Gus Van Sant's professed "trilogy" of films about death, along with the school shooting drama (and Palme D'Or winner) Elephant and the grungy lament Last Days. We'll be discussing all three films, as well as his most recent outing Paranoid Park, which may as well be the fourth installment.
